1999 Ibanez JEM7DBK Steve Vai – Made in Japan – Original Case – Good/Very Good Condition
Description
Offered for sale is my Ibanez JEM7DBK Steve Vai Signature Model from 1999 in good-to-very good condition with the original Ibanez hardshell case.
This is the iconic “Black Pearl” JEM featuring the distinctive textured finish, monkey grip handle, sharktooth-style pickguard, and classic late-90s Japanese JEM craftsmanship.
Built during the golden-era Fujigen production years, the JEM7DBK remains one of the most unique and aggressive-looking Steve Vai signature models ever produced.
Condition
- Good to Very Good overall condition
- Original finish and hardware
- Neck is straight and plays great
- Frets have good life remaining
- Original case included
- Electronics functioning properly
Cosmetic Notes
The guitar shows some honest cosmetic wear from age and use, including a few small finish chips and edge marks as shown in the photos.
The textured Black Pearl finish still presents extremely well and retains the distinctive look these guitars are known for.
Please review all photos carefully for exact condition.

Why These Are Special
The JEM7DBK occupies a unique place in the JEM lineup because of its:
- aggressive textured finish
- stripped-down blacked-out aesthetic
- classic Fujigen-era craftsmanship
- association with late-90s Steve Vai-era Ibanez production
These have become increasingly collectible, especially clean original Japanese examples with the original case.
The textured finish also hides wear better than most glossy JEM finishes, making these excellent player/collector crossover guitars.
